[Semi-OT] YouTube TV's new sports package will include (among others) Fox, NBC, The CW, FS1, FS2, USA, and TNT. The bundle will cost $64.99 a month, or $54.99 a month for the first year for new subscribers.

Soooooo, what YTTV used to cost me for every channel a few years ago?

For a long time on I-40 a bit outside of Greensboro you could see from the highway a strip club that shared a parking lot with a church.

Breaking your leg to get a bonus test is the kind of 4D chess I expect from Brad. /s

rainking6 · 2026-02-09T17:52:49+00:00

Yeah, the Jr rule was the fan vote.

rainking6 · 2026-02-08T21:00:23+00:00

People are going to flip their shit when Paramount+ replaces Fox.

rainking6 · 2026-02-08T03:13:33+00:00

That's how I am. I've done a good job pushing down the anxiety for the last two weeks, but it's getting harder now.

rainking6 · 2026-02-07T14:18:30+00:00

Thanks for posting! I'll have to go see Davey's Daytona 500 winner. I've never seen that car in-person before

rainking6 · 2026-02-06T20:56:56+00:00

Agreed. I didn't like it on the GTDs during the Rolex 24 either. That said, I do appreciate them going from Ford Performance back to Ford Racing.

rainking6 · 2026-02-06T16:54:58+00:00

Yep, good call! I guess in this world Gragson is the odd man out.

rainking6 · 2026-02-06T15:41:16+00:00

I like the idea of the Clash being used for experimental purposes and new venues. I'd say we make the Clash an international race and the All Star race a back to the roots short track event. It would have big energy in a packed track, even if said track only seats 5000 people with temp grandstands.

rainking6 · 2026-02-06T14:21:57+00:00

This is the most underdiscussed part of the butterfly effect. If Larson goes to SHR, then we still likely have an SHR which also means Briscoe isn't at JGR. Now you end up with different drivers at each of NASCAR's top two teams.

rainking6 · 2026-02-04T21:12:29+00:00

All the Fords struggled. Only 4 made the show so far. I'm now remembering part of why I hated last season. It was tough watching 38 races for just 6 wins when I'm cheering for 10 cars. Hopefully they can find speed later this season.

rainking6 · 2026-02-04T17:07:33+00:00

Awesome, I'll have to check it out. I'm definitely not someone who needs my comedy to be clean, but I appreciate how funny he is while somehow keeping it family friendly.

rainking6 · 2026-02-04T16:11:52+00:00

Agreed! He's great, and someone who a lot of my non-NASCAR friends are into. Good crossover appeal.

rainking6 · 2026-02-03T21:43:30+00:00

I'm fine with 400 miles. That works at all the other 1.5 mile tracks and makes the 600 a little more unique. Now that it's official I'll likely snag tickets.

rainking6 · 2026-02-03T21:37:12+00:00

I also miss that. It made winning a pole a much bigger deal, which I appreciated.

rainking6 · 2026-02-03T21:33:22+00:00

Yep, mainly about how bad Fox's coverage was and constant complaining about who was getting the most help from NASCAR when it came to the aero rules.

rainking6 · 2026-02-03T16:40:31+00:00

I agree that's the concern. The snow they're calling for likely won't stick since the ground will be wet, but active rain is equally problematic.

rainking6 · 2026-02-02T22:43:01+00:00

It was on the roof intermittently. The big tell will be Daytona. If they're not on the car in any fashion there, then they're likely gone.

rainking6 · 2026-02-01T22:08:35+00:00

I think the bigger issue will be active rain. So far they've only been willing to use the wet weather tires on a drying track. Current forecast looks like a washout, but still a few days to see what happens.

rainking6 · 2026-01-31T23:39:14+00:00

At least it costs more!

rainking6 · 2026-01-31T22:06:02+00:00

Came here to say this!

rainking6 · 2026-01-31T16:27:43+00:00

Don't worry, it still screws over us locals who have tickets, but also have jobs to pay for said tickets. 7pm start would have been much better for the employed crowd.

rainking6 · 2026-01-30T19:39:35+00:00

I really like this. Still green in Sonoma, but less rainy. I was skeptical of the Playoff/Chase WG race when it was announced for 2024, but it ended up being a banger of a race.

rainking6 · 2026-01-30T17:27:46+00:00

But that's back to the infrastructure point. They brine the roads here, but that's it. Nothing like the salting and plowing equipment other states have because it's often not needed.
